The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) recently confirmed the new contract details for two key players, Josh Jacobs and Darnell Brown, who have been retained by their respective teams on one-year deals. Jacobs, a standout running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, will return for the 2025 season with a contract worth $960,000, while Brown, a promising defensive lineman, will remain with his team for $1.03 million.
Josh Jacobs, the Raiders’ star running back, had an impressive 2024 season, rushing for over 1,300 yards and finishing with 12 touchdowns. Jacobs, who led the league in rushing yards in 2022, became one of the most vital pieces of the Raiders’ offensive puzzle. With a one-year deal at $960,000, Jacobs’s contract reflects the team’s approach to maximize cap space while maintaining a key player for the season. While the terms may not be as lucrative as some expected, the deal provides Jacobs with a chance to prove his worth once more, potentially setting himself up for a long-term extension or a bigger payday the following year.
On the other hand, Darnell Brown, a versatile defensive lineman, is being retained by his team for $1.03 million. Brown has been a steady presence on the defensive line and contributed to the team’s defense with solid tackling, pass rushing, and leadership on the field. At 26, Brown is entering the prime of his career and will look to use this one-year deal to showcase his talents and increase his market value. Like Jacobs, this contract offers the player a proving ground to earn a more significant contract in the near future.
Both of these one-year deals highlight the NFL’s ongoing trend of managing salary cap space, with teams balancing their financial flexibility while keeping essential players in place for their 2025 campaigns. For Jacobs and Brown, these contracts offer the opportunity to continue playing at a high level, build upon their previous performances, and set themselves up for future success.
